We noticed that one, too, and it's a lot worse when you take eldar (well, 15
cm worse). But what I really want to know is, if my falcons are on march
and the aspects loaded in them are on assault, can I do the above action and
enter cc and/or firefights. You would be vulnerable while still loaded in
the falcons, but I could see it working in certain circumstances.

I'd go with the 0 fp.

Sounds like a good house rule.
